Our sustainable policies

Tackling our impact on the climate crisis

In 2022, we created our first Climate Action Plan and measured our total carbon footprint, so laying the foundations for a long-term sustainability strategy.

As part of the Hotelplan UK group, we are now delighted to publish our first ever Biodiversity and Climate papers (available to read below), in which we set out our key 2023 Planet Goals:

• Across the group, a £1m investment in carbon removal technologies and rewilding our landscapes

• Create a comprehensive carbon reduction roadmap

• Launch new animal protection policies

• Complete a new single-use item audit

• Conduct company-wide carbon literacy training

Our core principles

Sustainability is at the heart of all we do, and we are guided by the following core principles:

1) Become carbon neutral by reducing our carbon output wherever practicable, and by offsetting what we’re unable to eliminate by supporting carbon reduction schemes

2) Foster well-being through tourism and cultural exchange, and bring benefits to communities, wildlife and the environment

3) Follow high standards of ethical and sustainable practice in all business activities

4) Engage our customers, suppliers, business partners and staff in our responsible business initiatives

5) Participate in positive ways to support our own local economy, community and environment

Office policies

We couldn’t ask anyone else to act responsibly if we weren’t doing so ourselves...

• Our offices, sympathetically converted from a disused farm building specifically for Inntravel, are well insulated and use energy-efficient lighting.

• We closely monitor heating and electricity usage in the office, as well as other resource use such as paper, and we also encourage our staff to car-share, as our office is not served by public transport; around a third of our staff share transport on a regular basis.

• We use paper from sustainably managed forests, and the packaging in which we mail our brochures from the office is made from cardboard and is fully recyclable. Brochures sent from the mailing house are wrapped in recyclable paper.

• Our recyclable waste – paper, cardboard, plastics, batteries, cans and printer cartridges – is either sent directly for recycling, or distributed to local organisations and charities who benefit from recycling schemes. No waste from the office goes to landfill.

• We provide nesting opportunities for a range of wildlife, with owl, swallow and bat boxes built into the exterior of our office building.

Partners & charities

We can do so much more to protect and restore our planet when we work together. That's why we are delighted to be working alongside some excellent partners and charities, from carbon-removal experts, Klimate, to the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, who look after the very landscapes that we at Inntravel call home.
